Actually, this may be a behaviour problem, not a documentation problem.

Description:
------------
The documentation at include and include_path suggests that the current
directory will not be searched if a '.' is not in include path. Even
though I can see no reason (e.g. in the source code referred to by bug
#51569) that the current directory should be searched, it can be
demonstrated that it is.
See also bug #51569 and bug #52845 for further include_path
documentation deficiencies.
Test script:
---------------
1. Place in a file 'test/test.php':
set_include_path('/bin'); // won't find any php files here!
include('another.php');
2. touch another.php
3. php test/test.php
Expected result:
----------------
Warning that another.php cannot be found.
Actual result:
--------------
No warning.
N.B. In line with the undocumented feature mentioned in bug #51569, if
another.php is moved to test/another.php, it is still found also,
because it is in the directory of the running script.
